The decision, which the official said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conveyed to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a telephone call, was made days before the publication of the findings of a U.N. inquiry into the seizure of the Mavi Marmara last year. "As long as Israel does not apologize, does not pay compensation and does not lift the embargo on Palestine, it is not possible for Turkey-Israeli ties to improve," Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, asked about the Israeli comments, told reporters. The so-called Palmer report was repeatedly delayed to allow for Israeli-Turkish rapprochement talks amid concern in Washington at the rift between two countries that had been strategic partners in an increasingly stormy Middle East. Israeli officials, citing advance copies of the report, have said it would vindicate Israel's blockade on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Turkey, which like Israel had a delegate on the U.N. panel headed by former New Zealand prime minister Geoffrey Palmer, has said it would not accept such a finding. The Mavi Marmara was part of an activist flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza when it was boarded by Israeli marines on the Mediterranean high seas on May 31, 2010. The marines shot dead nine Turks, including a dual U.S. citizen, during fierce deck brawls. Netanyahu had voiced regret over the killings, and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, a centrist in his conservative coalition government, has since stirred debate inside the cabinet by proposing Israel offer a diluted apology in hope of restoring ties with what was once a rare Muslim ally of the Jewish state. "We're firm on not apologizing," the Israeli official said. Asked if Israel might change tack after the Palmer report's publication, the official said: "Why would we do that? We know the report supports our position." Kurt Hoyer, spokesman for the U.S. embassy, said Washington wanted Israel and Turkey "to look for opportunities to get past the current strains in their bilateral relations." He would not comment on the conversation the Israeli official said had taken place on Tuesday between Netanyahu and Clinton. In arguing for accommodating the Turks, Barak had said this would help indemnify Israel's navy personnel against lawsuits abroad. The Palmer report would contain some criticism of Israeli tactics aboard the Mavi Marmara, Barak said. His most vocal opponent in the Israeli cabinet was Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who noted that Ankara's Islamist-rooted government also demands an end to the Gaza blockade. Israel calls the measure a precaution against arms reaching Hamas and other Palestinian guerrillas by sea. Palestinians and their supporters describe the blockade as illegal collective punishment. The United Nations has said it expects to release the Palmer report this month. Israeli officials gave August 22 as the publication date.

These facts are not in dispute. Those responsible must be brought before the International Criminal Court in relation to those actions of brutality. In the meantime, the Israeli government must issue a formal apology and submit the names of those ministers who authorized the killings.

Had the Erdogan government heeded Israel’s many requests to prevent the Mavi Marmara from sailing for Gaza, the incident would have been avoided and those killed and injured on both sides spared. Responsibility for this tragedy rests solely on the shoulders of Turkey and the Islamists intent on facilitating the eradication of Israel.
